This is very true, but to be fair, it is really hard to get casuals to come to tournaments, because the thought of going to tourneys can be quite intimidating. The general mindset is "Why bother going to a tourney if I'm just going to lose"? Casuals need to be eased into Fighting Games and gradually brought to a level where they feel "confident" enough to attend a tournament and participate. I've gone to tournaments because I don't really care if I get my ass kicked as long as I get to laugh at myself when I rewatch my major fails on stream. I doubt that most people would think the same way.

Getting new people to join the FGC is an even greater challenge. Majority of the FG's played now competitively are based around series that have been around since the 90's. Even DOA dates back to the mid-90's. People have been playing these games for years. How does a newcomer feel about that? How does a newcomer compete with those kind of people? FG's aren't a team sport, we compete with one another in order to secure victory. Although we do also develop friendships with the people we play with regularly.

The best we can do to encourage newcomers is to actively support our FG's, such as DOA5, as much as possible to generate attention. I'm trying to see if I can get more DOA players to join my local scene.
